ELOG is storing all entries as text files. Open text files and use search and replace in text editor. Or instead: export with Find and import in another ELOG with renamed attributes.

ok.

what *a.log ? is it all database from elog? so I need to open it with text editor and replace all . am I Correct?

ELOG does not provide you with a simple mechanism to rename attributes in existing entries.
If you rename an attribute in the configuration, then you need to adapt all existing entries by replacing the name in all *a.log files on the server.
Or you could set-up a second logbook with the renamed attributes, export all entries from the first logbook (use "Find") and import these entries in the second logbook.

Hello, I have configuration file that already set on running logbook

but I want to change for example category and Atributes, and some other setting to match our language

If I just simply change category, or other option, when I log in on logbook, It wont show as I though. When I change back to original setting, it will show

How to change setting in configuration properly, so It will show and logbook still consistent using the new category and other option I just set.

thanx for the help

Yes, it is possible. And explained in ELOG documentation.

Hello,

related to the permission, is it possible to set permission ?, so only the owner or certain people can view list all logbok and regular member can only see their own logbook, not the others.

thanx for the help

The (correct) display tells me that the colours are user-defined, probably by the configuration option

Style <attribute> <value> = <style>

which selects different styles for different rows. Now I do not know why your browser should change behaviour all over sudden, but I would double check the configuration. Like removing all style additions in the config file, then try again, then add one by one. There could also be a class defined with the "style" option which has not been added to the default style file themes directory of the elog installation.

Just my two cent:
the content of a particular entry can change the rendering. If you have an HTML end tag like </table> or </font> in your entry, then the display after that entry may be spoiled.
You could try to select the very same entries in both browsers, to see if it does depend on the specific entry content.
If the problem persists, then I would suggest that you post the following:
- a minimal configuration for a logbook that reproduces the problem; and
- the actual entries, exported in XML or RAW format; and
- screenshots on how it displays with IE (add version number) and with Chrome (add version number).

Cheers

Actually not. If you have HTML statements in entries, they will be rendered using escape characters (like </table> -> &lt;/table&gt;). This is necessary to avoid cross-side-script vulnerabilities (XSS). If this is not working in some case, let me know and I have to fix it. The only exception is if you explicitly allow this via Allow HTML = 1


If the content has been added with the "elog" command as HTML then it can contain mismatching HTML tags, can't it?
I don't see how this could be avoided by ELOG, unless you want to do a full HTML syntax check of all new and modified entries.

It works also with entries submitted by the "elog" command. The reason is that for the OUTPUT, all "<" characters are transformed into &gt;, which "inactivates" any HTML code, no matter where it came from.


Now I'm confused: if I create an entry with "elog -n 2 ...", then I put HTML code into elog and it is displayed as HTML. This HTML code does NOT convert a "<" into "&lt;", otherwise you could not display any HTML.
But of course this code can be wrongly formatted, for example it can contain a </table> tag without a <table> tag before it. This will definitely spoil the display in ELOG, and that was what I was refering to.
I agree that html tags in plain text entries will not have this problem.

Proof of principle ;-)

  67865   Thu Apr 30 09:54:17 2015 Question Andreas Luedekeandreas.luedeke@psi.chBug reportLinux3.1.0elogd lost entry database without restart during file system trouble
I'm running ELOG since several years with rather heavy usage.
Last week I've upgrades from 3.0.0 to 3.1.0 and this week I had twice the same problem:
elogd lost the index for old entries and showed empty logbooks, without having restarted.
The logbooks appeared to be empty; new entries started with index "1".
The first time the origin of the problem were network troubles;
the second time it had been caused by a severe problem of our AFS file system service.
I never experienced this consequence for ELOG in the past when we had AFS problems.

Since the logbooks are used for the operation log of a user facility they continued to do new entries.
The next day I had to re-number the new entries and restart elogd and everything was fine.

I could understand if elogd crashes when the filesystem of the logbook goes away.
And when it restarts with an (temporarily) empty filesystem, that would explain what happened.
But it did not restart and the log file does not contain any information about any problem, 
just that suddenly all new entries in each logbook started with ID "1" again.

Stefan, any idea?
Anyone else ever experienced that with the new ELOG version (or older ones)?

Hi Francois,
welcome to the community! I'll try to answer your questions inline (Numbering them would have been a good idea ;-):

- I'm creating a logbook with a lot of attributes. I would like to know if there is a way to name (display) my attribute differently then it's original name. That way I could program $attrib1; $attrib2, etc, and map a name to display the column accordingly... Is it something possible ? 

Not to my knowledge. But you can add comments like:
Comment <attribute> = <comment>
Tooltip <attribute> = <comment>

-Is it possible to hide the field "Entry Time" when creating or editing an entry ?

You can supress the display of the entry time in different views using:
Show Attributes = <list>
Show Attributes Edit = <list>
But the entry time will always be stored with the entry.

-I saw the Cell Style fonction to set Color (really nice...), My attribute1 is a worker name; Attribute2 is how the work is going on (stop, ready, in process) I would like to hide Atribute2 in list mode but change Attribute1 cell color based on Attribute2 status... is it possible to do so?

No, that is not possible as far as I see from the documentation. Cell styles can only be set according to the content of the specific cell.
But you could hide attribute1 and attribute2 and then generate an attribute3 with the help of a shell script, and the style of that cell could be created by the shell script depending on attribute2.

-When using "Show Text = 0" (i'm only using attributes), creating a new entry present the menu "Submit", "Save", "Preview" and "Back".... Pressing "Save" leaves the page, shows "OK with a number" and "Preview" is useless. Is it possible to tune what button should be present or not ? I would like to remove Save and Preview....

As far as I know the display of these buttons cannot be configured.

 

Cheers
Andreas
